Holiday Gift Guide-GeoSafari Motorized Solar System Review & Giveaway





 My son wants to be an astronaut. I know lots of kids say that, but he seems pretty intent about it. He wants to read anything he can find on space. He does great in math and science, and he has been known to try to eat the toothpaste. So I don't think eating out of a tube will be a problem for him. When it comes to finding him the perfect Christmas gifts, I always look for something space oriented. What he really wants is an all expensive paid trip to space camp, but that's not in the budget right now. So the next best thing is the GeoSafari Motorized Solar System from Educational Insights.This fun toy is a wonderful way to teach children about the universe we live in.




Putting the Motorized Solar System together was simple and a fun exercise on its own. The set comes with all the eight planets and even the newly demoted dwarf planet Pluto.  You attach all the planets to the motorized base and then you can watch as the planets rotate around the sun. But wait, there's more! It also comes with a Star Dome with labeled constellations. When you add on this special piece, it brings the stars to life right in your own home. You are able to see their alignments and the labels will help you learn how to pick out the constellations in the real sky. It even comes with a six page guide of fun and educational activities.  Its perfect for educational play and great to use as a nightlight in a future astronaut or astronomer's room.



The GeoSafari Motorized Solar System is available for only $34.99 which is a great price for such a fun and high tech toy. But if you are looking for something even more economical, Educational Insights also offers a Glow in the Dark Solar System for only $19.99.  Plus they have dozens of other wonderful gift ideas including board games, telescopes, microscopes, coin sets, reading games and more.  All of their toys and games encourage creativity and learning in a way that's fun and exciting for kids.





One lucky winner is going to receive their own Motorized Solar System for their aspiring astronaut. To enter, just visit Educational Insights and tell me another item you would love to have.
